Note: This is primarily driven by the increased cash generated from operating activities. Firstly, due to consumption recovery in the year, the Company saw a
higher percentage of cash settlement with its customers and a higher amount of cash collected on due bank acceptance bills, resulting in a significant increase in cash
8
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
proceeds from sale of goods and rendering of services. Secondly, to cope with market changes in the same period of last year, the Company lowered the percentage of
cash settlement with its customers, leading to a lower base of cash proceeds from sale of goods and rendering of services.
Reason for change in accounting policy and correction of accounting errors:
On 30 November 2022, the Ministry of Finance issued Interpretation No. 16 for the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (C.K. [2022] No. 31,
hereinafter referred to as “Interpretation No. 16”, of which the “accounting treatment that deferred income tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single
transaction is not exempt in initial recognition” was effective from 1 January 2023.
For a single transaction to which Interpretation No. 16 applies that occurred between the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements to
which Interpretation No. 16 was first applied (i.e., 1 January 2022) and 1 January 2023, adjustments shall be made in accordance with Interpretation No. 16. For
taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences arising from lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised on 1 January 2022 as a result of a
single transaction to which Interpretation No. 16 applies, the cumulative effects shall be adjusted to retained earnings and other relevant financial statement items on
1 January 2022 in accordance with Interpretation No. 16 and Accounting Standard No. 18 for Business Enterprises—Income Tax.

Part III Management Discussion and Analysis
I Industry Overview for the Reporting Period
During the Reporting Period, China's Baijiu industry continued to grow amid intense competition. The
existing Baijiu producers were competing even more fiercely with each other, with increased market share
concentration, intensified brand competition, fierce price competition, and bigger business sizes based on regions
of production. The structural differentiation trend within the industry became more apparent, continuously
concentrating towards strong brands, top producers, and major regions of production. In 2023, China's Baijiu
producers above the designated size achieved sales revenue of RMB756.3 billion, up 9.7% year on year; and a
profit before tax of RMB232.8 billion, up 7.5% year on year, fully demonstrating the resilience of the Baijiu
industry.
II Principal Operations of the Company during the Reporting Period
(I) Overview
The Company is principally engaged in Baijiu production and sales. According to the Guidelines for the
Industry Classification of Listed Companies issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the Baijiu
industry falls into the category of the "liquor & wine, beverage, and refined tea production industry" (C15). No
change occurred to the principal operations of the Company during the Reporting Period. "Wuliangye", the
primary product of the Company, is a classic strong-flavor Chinese Baijiu. Additionally, the Company has
developed, based on different production techniques and market needs, Wuliang NongXiang Baijiu products such
as Wuliang Chun (Spring), Wuliang Chun (Rich Flavor), Wuliang Tetouqu, and Mianrou Jianzhuang with
complete categories and unique tastes to meet the diverse needs of different consumers in pursuit of a better life.
(II) Brand Operation
1. Wuliangye-branded Baijiu Products
In 2023, the Company continued with scientific placements to meet the consumer needs arising in the new
era, continuously enhanced the Wuliangye brand's market presence, and fully committed itself to improving the
quality and effectiveness of the marketing efforts of the Wuliangye brand.
Firstly, the Company continued to boost its efforts in product development, with further strengthened
product strength. In line with the Company's "1+3" product matrix, new products such as Propitious Purple
Wuliangye were launched, completing the development and sales of 18 cultural Baijiu products including
Wanshou Tan and Panda-shaped liquor; continued to strengthen the market cultivation of Classic Wuliangye,
focusing on the Baijiu market above the unit price of RMB2,000, achieving dual drive with the eighth generation
Wuliangye and Classic Wuliangye.
Secondly, the Company kept bolstering brand-building efforts, further elevating the brand's strength.
It successfully hosted the second "Harmony Cultural Festival" and "Rose Wedding Ceremony", continuously
boosting brand heat and reputation It named sponsorships of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and Mid-Autumn
Festival Gala and brought the brand exposure to over 11 billion interactions during the Spring Festival Gala. The
"Harmony Gifts" interactive campaign during the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala saw more than 5.8 billion interactive
engagements; further deepened cooperation with mainstream media such as People's Daily and Xinhua News
Agency, continued appearances at top-tier platforms like the Boao Forum for Asia, APEC, and the first "Golden
Panda" awards, effectively enhancing brand influence.
Thirdly, the Company continued to exert efforts in channel expansion, further solidifying the channel
strength. In terms of traditional channels, the Company added approximately 26,000 new core retail stores
throughout the year, with continuous improvement in retail sell-through. Besides, it initiated the "Three Stores,
One House" construction, with currently over 1,600 exclusive stores covering more than 300 cities nationwide.
Regarding emerging channels, it accelerated the layout on three major e-commerce platforms of Douyin,
Kuaishou, and WeChat video accounts, making the online benchmark effect more pronounced.
2. Wuliang NongXiang products
In 2023, Wuliang NongXiang firmly embraced the strategic direction of "innovation with integrity while
expanding territories". Centering on consumers, focusing on product sell-through, market segmentation and
hierarchy construction, and consumer cultivation as key tasks, it employed flexible and practical empowerment,
12
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
ensuring steady progress in all areas of work.
Firstly, product sell-through saw a significant increase. A concentrated effort was made to launch a major
campaign for product sell-through, with the daily average participants in the “crack a bottle, scan the code, and
win a prize” activities increasing by more than 70% year on year. A noticeable increase in strengthening and
enhancing distributors was observed, with segmented and hierarchical market creation achieving staged results.
The construction of terminals saw improvements in both quantity and quality, with continuous efforts from e-
commerce and KAs leading to ongoing improvements in the channel structure.
Secondly, consumer cultivation progressed steadily. Consumer cultivation was continuously pursued
through appreciation salons, Wuliangye cultural tours, fan meetings, and online platforms such as Xiaohongshu
and Douyin, all aimed at fully facilitating sell-through.
Thirdly, initial success was seen in cultural development. A proactive approach was adopted in integrating
into the "Harmonious Culture" system, making the brand images of Wuliang Chun (Spring) "Best of the Best,
Wuliang Chun (Spring)", Wuliang Chun (Rich Flavour) "Rich Flavour of China, Enjoy a Better Life", Wuliang
Tequ's craftsmanship culture, and Jianzhuang's "Century-old Jianzhuang, National Brand" more deeply ingrained
in people's hearts.
Finally, a noticeable improvement in market order was achieved. An enhancement in the brand structure
and an optimisation of the regional layout were pursued, along with marketing model reform, brand culture
development, and meticulous channel cultivation. These efforts led to products being sold at fair prices, the
purification of market order, and a further solidification of the market foundation.

III Core Competitiveness Analysis
The Company's unique five major competitive edges of the regions of production, ancient fermentation pit
clusters, quality, brands, and consumer base constitute its irreplicable core competitiveness. During the Reporting
Period, the Company's core competitiveness continued to strengthen.
The first is the geographical competitiveness. The Yibin region of production, where the Company is
situated, boasts a uniquely favourable natural ecological brewing environment of "water, soil, air, climate, and
biology". It has been recognised by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
and Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) as "the most suitable region in the same latitude for producing
high-quality, pure distilled Baijiu", making it one of the world's top ten regions of production of spirits. In 2023, it
was awarded the title of "China's Wuliang NongXiang Core Region of Production".
The second competitive edge lies in the ancient fermentation pit clusters. The ancient fermentation pit
clusters of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, represented by Changfasheng and Lichuanyong, are the earliest and
largest cave-type ancient fermentation pits in China with uninterrupted production and have been in existence for
more than 656 years, which have scarcity value that is unrepeatable and non-reproducible. Four new microbial
species named after Wuliangye have been discovered in ancient fermentation pits from the Ming and Qing
dynasties, profoundly interpreting the richness, complexity, and uniqueness of the brewing microorganisms of
Wuliangye from a scientific perspective.
Quality represents the third competitive edge. Wuliangye possesses the unique "1366" traditional
production technique that has been identified as a national intangible cultural heritage. It boasts the most in the
industry with 12 individuals recognised as Chinese Baijiu Masters, Chinese Brewing Masters, and Chinese Baijiu
Technique Masters. A complete quality management model "from seed to liquor" has been established, which has
four times been awarded the highest honour in China's quality management field, the "National Quality Award".
15
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
The fourth is the brand strength. Wuliangye's brand culture has profound historical roots with a history of
over a thousand years, beginning in the Tang dynasty, emerging in the Song dynasty, refined in the Yuan dynasty,
becoming famous in the Ming dynasty, and establishing the brand name in the Qing dynasty. It possesses a unique
culture encapsulated by five-character mottoes, ancient fermentation pit culture, and a rich poetic and Baijiu
tradition. The advocacy of a harmonious culture of “harmonious common prosperity” continues to be prominently
displayed; the brand value has exceeded RMB400 billion, with the brand strength index receiving the highest
global AAA+ rating for two consecutive years, ranking first among Baijiu brands.
Finally, the consumer base. Strong-flavored Baijiu is the Baijiu category with the highest market share and
the largest consumer base. Being famous worldwide for its unique style of "lasting aroma, mellow, pleasant and
smooth taste, and harmonious, well-balanced and comprehensive flavors", Wuliangye has a wide and solid
consumer base. Notably, the industry's pioneering low-alcohol Baijiu possesses a unique competitive advantage in
cultivating a young consumer demographic.
IV Analysis of Principal Operations
1. Overview
During the Reporting Period, the Company adhered to the overall work principle of "focusing on stability,
seeking progress in stability, improving quality and efficiency, as well as making more contributions". It precisely
focused its efforts on four aspects: superior products, strong brands, advanced innovation and modern governance,
reaching a new level of development. In 2023, the Company achieved operating revenue of RMB83.272 billion,
up 12.58% year on year, and a net profit attributable to its shareholders of RMB30.211 billion, up 13.19% year on
year.
Firstly, the support from superior products has been further strengthened. The support for quality has
continuously improved, with the production volume of famous liquors reaching an all-time high; the fast growth
programme has been orderly advanced, with the first phase of the 100,000-ton ecological brewing project starting
production; two additional Chinese Brewing Masters have been added. The product mix has been continually
perfected, with the launch of the Propitious Purple Wuliangye; the development and sales of 18 cultural Baijiu
products have been completed; the Classic 50 has won the iF Design Award. Quality management has
continuously been enhanced, with the Company being the only one in the industry shortlisted for the Nomination
Award of the Fifth China Quality Award; it has won the "National Typical Cases of Quality Reform and
Innovation of Chief Quality Officers" and two gold awards at the 48th International Convention on Quality
Control Circles (ICQCC); optimisation has yielded the best Qu-preparation Production Technique knowledge map
and an expert analysis and judgment system, earning the title of "National Quality Benchmark".
Secondly, the pulling force of strong brands has been further solidified. Brand cultural promotion has
been continuously strengthened, with deep participation in CCTV's Year of the Rabbit Spring Festival Gala and
Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, bringing brand impressions to over 11 billion during the Spring Festival Gala and
over 5.8 billion engagements for "Harmony Gifts" during the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, benefiting millions of
households with the joy of "Harmony Gifts". Further deep integration with high-end platforms such as APEC,
Boao Forum for Asia, and China International Import Expo (CIIE), along with successful collaboration with the
International Finance Forum, World Laureates Forum, Golden Panda Awards, and China International Consumer
Products Expo, has crafted a high-profile brand image. Brand cultural expression has been continuously innovated.
We successfully held cultural IP events such as the Harmony Cultural Festival, Happy China Festival, and Rose
Wedding Ceremony; launched "Wuliangye Harmony Global Tour", leading "Sichuan Liquor Global Tour";
sponsored high-quality programmes like CCTV's "Beauty in Harmony", Hunan TV's "Chinese Restaurant" and
"New Year’s Eve Gala"; won three national brand communication awards. The foundation of brand culture
continued to be solidified. The Company completed the conservation and restoration projects of the
"Changfasheng" and "Lichuanyong" ancient fermentation pit sites, launched the "Archaeological Wuliangye"
Phase II project, actively pushed for the declaration of Chinese Baijiu traditional workshops as World Cultural
Heritage, and was selected as a national excellent industrial heritage protection and utilisation demonstration case.
16
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
Besides, it won the first-class award in National Culture Outstanding Achievement, and was selected again for the
Hurun Most Successful Chinese Heritage Brands 2023.
Thirdly, the driving force behind innovative development has been further enhanced. Platform
construction has achieved significant success, with the National Enterprise Technology Centre maintaining the top
score in the National Development and Reform Commission's annual assessment within the industry, the National
Industrial Design Centre smoothly passing the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's
Republic of China's re-evaluation, and successfully establishing the industry's first Chinese Baijiu Industry
Cultural and Technological Innovation Centre. Technical breakthrough efforts have continued to intensify, as the
Company attained three provincial and ministerial-level science and technology first-class awards. It also
completed the "Analysis of Wuliangye's Baobaoqu Enzyme Spectrum and Enzyme-producing Microflora" and
two other achievements, all reaching an "international leading level". The talent team has been continuously
strengthened, with the establishment of the National High-Skilled Talent Training Base and the "Cao Hongying"
National Skills Master Studio. Specifically, we had three more State Council Special Allowance Experts, 12 more
national Baijiu judges, and five more provincial high-end talents (including Skilled Masters in Sichuan Province
and talents included in the Tianfu Qingcheng Programme).
Fourthly, the assurance of modern governance has been further solidified. The Company is committed
to integrating the leadership of the Party into corporate governance, winning the excellent model case for National
State-owned Enterprises Party Building Brand Construction and the Best Practice Case 2023 for Board of
Directors of Listed Companies. Efforts were made to enhance the Company's ESG management level, which
earned the Best Practice Case 2023 for ESG of Listed Companies, and was selected as an excellent model case for
carbon-peaking, carbon-neutral and green development by the National Development and Reform Commission in
2023, a model case for serving green development by China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), a
model case for serving the Belt and Road Initiative by People's Daily, and an excellent model case of UN 2023
SDG Summit.

Explanation of why any of the data above varies significantly on a year-on-year basis:
Applicable □ Not applicable
Note 1: This is primarily driven by the increased cash generated from operating activities. Firstly, due to
consumption recovery in the year, the Company saw a higher percentage of cash settlement with its customers and
a higher amount of cash collected on due bank acceptance bills, resulting in a significant increase in cash proceeds
from sale of goods and rendering of services. Secondly, to cope with market changes in the same period of last
year, the Company lowered the percentage of cash settlement with its customers, leading to a lower base of cash
proceeds from sale of goods and rendering of services.
Note 2: This is primarily driven by a higher base of net proceeds from the disposal of fixed assets, intangible
assets and other long-term assets in the same period of last year.
Note 3: This is primarily because the Company accelerated the high quality and fast growth programme.
Major projects progressed well, including the “Liquor Packaging and Integrated Smart Storage-and-delivery
Project”, the “Baijiu Cellar Renovation Project”, and the “100,000-ton Ecological Brewery Project”, among others,
leading to the increased construction expenditures that were settled in the Reporting Period.
Note 4: This is primarily driven by the significantly increased net cash generated from operating activities,
and the increased financing costs as a result of increased construction investments and a higher amount of
dividend payout, in the Reporting Period.
Explanation of why the net cash generated from/used in operating activities varies significantly from the net
profit of the Reporting Period:

XI Prospects
(I) Industry Landscape and Trends
Strong brands, top producers, and major regions of production are the greatest ballasts and stabilisers for the
high-quality development of the Baijiu industry. The future development of the Baijiu industry is highly certain,
with structural growth still being the main theme and tune. Industry differentiation and concentration will further
intensify.
Firstly, the development of the industry is supported by the continuous improvement of the
macroeconomy. China's economy is rebounding well, and the primary trend of long-term improvement remains
unchanged, with residents' consumption capacity and expectations continuing to improve. The Central
Government has designated 2024 as the "Year of Consumption Promotion", making "expanding domestic demand
and promoting consumption" a key point of the economic work for 2024. This will further stimulate the release of
residents' consumption potential, driving consumption from post-pandemic recovery to continuous expansion,
which bodes well for the sustained growth in Baijiu consumption demand.
Secondly, industrial policies continue to bolster the industry's development. In 2023, the Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China and 11 other departments jointly issued
the Guidelines on Cultivating Traditional Advantageous Food Production Regions and Local Specialty Food
Industries, focused on forming new economic development drivers, encouraging high-quality Baijiu to
concentrate in quality production regions. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's
Republic of China and two other departments jointly issued the Light Industry Steady Growth Work Plan, which
explicitly proposes further strengthening Baijiu and other specialty food industry clusters. CPC Sichuan Provincial
Committee, and the People's Government of Sichuan Province have explicitly proposed implementing a fast
growth programme to promote high quality and fast growth of the food and textiles industries, centered on Baijiu,
and to build a world-class premium Baijiu industry cluster. The Opinions on Supporting Yibin and Luzhou to
Form a Group to Build the Southern Sichuan Provincial Economic Sub-Centre were issued, clearly proposing the
implementation of a high-quality Baijiu "Mount Qomolangma Climbing" plan to further enhance the global
competitiveness of the high-quality Baijiu industry.
Thirdly, the aspiration for a better life leads the industry's development. Baijiu is an important carrier
for meeting people's aspirations for a better life. The cultural carrier characteristics and social attributes of Baijiu
will not change. The Baijiu industry continues to explore new opportunities and open new situations by deepening
supply-side structural reforms. As consumer demographics become younger and demand for quality increases, the
market's demand for Baijiu gradually shows diversity, individualisation, and health-conscious characteristics. As a
leading and advantageous company, we continuously push forward with innovations in liquor body, products, and
scenarios, precisely explore consumers' real demands, effectively tap into potential demands, vigorously cultivate
valid demands, and lead new demand creation with new supplies, which will effectively promote the sustained
high-quality development of the Baijiu industry.
(II) Development Strategies of the Company: Wuliangye will persist in taking quality, culture, integrity
and innovation as the foundation, and vigorously implement the 135 development strategy. It will promote the
three major programmes of quality brands, marketing innovation and high-quality & fast growth, making every
effort to build an ecological and quality-oriented Wuliangye with culture as the foundation, digital transformation
as the driver and sound corporate governance as the support. With a focus on enhancing the Wuliangye brand
value, continuous efforts will be made to strengthen brand quality, consumer cultivation, and channel profitability,
driving the price to quickly align with the reasonable return to brand value, and fully promoting the Company to
achieve qualitative enhancement and rational growth in quantity.
(III) Completion of the Business Plan for 2023
1. Planning at the beginning of the year: The Company would strive for a double-digit growth in operating
revenue in 2023.
2. Realities: In 2023, the Company achieved operating revenue of RMB83.272 billion, up 12.58% year on
year.
(IV) Development Goals for 2024
The Company's operation goal: The consolidation and enhancement of a stable development trend and a
continued double-digit growth in operating revenue.
2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is a crucial year
for achieving the objectives and tasks outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan. The Company will steadfastly adhere to
the guidance of Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thoroughly
implement the key spirit and instructions of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the
27
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
second plenary session of the 20th Central Committee, as well as General Secretary Xi Jinping's visit to Sichuan
and Yibin. The Company is committed to fully implementing the decisions and arrangements of the Provincial
Party Committee and Provincial Government, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government,
following the general principle of "staying politically aware, driving development, improving people's livelihood,
ensuring safety, and delivering first-class performance". In accordance with the overall tone of "seeking progress
in stability, maintaining stability with progress, improving quality and efficiency, as well as making more
contributions", the Company insists on taking quality, culture, integrity and innovation as the foundation. It aims
to balance the immediate and long-term needs, high-quality development and high-level safety, as well as
effective improvement in quality with rational growth in quantity. The Company is dedicated to accelerating the
pace of high-quality development and striving to become a world-leading enterprise with superior products, strong
brands, advanced innovation and modern governance.
(V) Potential Risks
Firstly, there may be uncertainties in the environment at home and abroad; secondly, valid demand may not
be recovering in an expected pace; and finally, competition in the industry, especially among the top players, may
be increasingly intense.

III Efforts in Poverty Alleviation and Rural Revitalization
2023 was the first year for implementing the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress on all
fronts and a pivotal year for implementing the "14th Five-Year Plan". As a large state-owned enterprise, in
accordance with provincial and municipal arrangements, the Company supported and assisted Litang County in
Ganzi Prefecture and provided paired assistance to Yingxiong Village, Qingping Yi Ethnic Township, Pingshan
County, Yibin City. The Company's Party Committee resolutely fulfilled its political responsibilities, continuously
improved assistance mechanisms, specifically studied, researched, and deployed assistance work, and members of
the leadership team conducted several in-depth investigations and guidance visits to the assisted areas. Solid
progress was made in assistance matters, earning recognition as the "Best Practice Case in Rural Revitalisation"
by the Listed Companies Association and being selected as a case for the CCTV Global Social Responsibility
Rural Revitalisation Exhibition. The assisting officials were honoured as outstanding resident village work team
members in the province and outstanding individuals in ethnic unity in the city, contributing to the successful
establishment of "Civilised Demonstration Villages", "Six No" Safe Villages, advanced collective units in Party
building work, top ten villages in collective economic development, advanced collective units in educational work,
and advanced collective villages in rural revitalisation.
(I) Strengthened base construction and the effective development of featured industries
Firstly, the Company established a high-mountain specialty tea base. In Pingshan County, the Company,
based on the local industrial foundation and the development aspirations of the masses, donated funds for
industrial development and fully established a 200-mu "High-mountain Organic Tea Garden Demonstration Base".
In 2023, 350,000 tea seedlings were planted, forming a radiation belt for the high-mountain tea industry. Secondly,
the Company constructed highland fruit and vegetable bases. In Litang County, the Company fully stimulated the
industrial hematopoietic function of the assisted villages, strengthened the standardised operation and
management of Wuliangye Polar Fruit and Vegetable (Mushroom) Base, orderly advanced production and supply,
cooperated with the "Hema Fresh" platform to expand market sales channels, and the base's production drove
local employment for 25 people. The “Vegetable Basket” Vegetable Supply Base continued its project
improvement efforts in 2023, upgrading 25 facility vegetable greenhouses, enhancing water and fertilizer
integration facilities, constructing a 200-square-meter agricultural product sorting centre, and supporting
51
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
refrigeration equipment.
(II) Conducted consumption assistance for sustainable income increase among poverty-alleviated
masses
Firstly, the Company promoted internal sales. In 2023, the Company effectively organised events such as the
Spring Festival centralised procurement and agricultural special sales, contributing to a total sales revenue of over
RMB14.3 million for local products throughout the year. This directly boosted the collective economic income of
Hero Village in Pingshan County by over RMB1.9 million, with an economic net profit of nearly RMB200,000.
Additionally, Mayan Village in Litang County achieved sales revenue of over RMB2.6 million, with dividends for
the masses exceeding RMB210,000. Secondly, the Company helped to expand external markets. Adhering to
market orientation, leveraging the Company's brand advantages and channel strengths, through the external and
internal connection and online and offline combination, consumption assistance became an important "engine" for
rural revitalisation and common prosperity. At the Rural Revitalisation Technology and Skills Competition Trade
Show for Special Agricultural Products and Sichuan Goods E-commerce Festival, the Company promoted and
sold assisted products such as Litang County's mushrooms, honey from Pingshan County, and bamboo shoots. In
Litang County, the Company established the country's first organic Tibetan mushroom "Hema Village". The sales
revenue of Tibetan mushrooms in Hema MAX stores nationwide exceeded RMB1.7 million, both online and
offline.
(III) Strengthened organisational construction for solid rural governance
Firstly, the Company consolidated the Party branch pairing. Adhering to high-quality Party building leading
grassroots governance efficiency, the Company's Cultural and Tourism Company Party General Branch under the
Party Committee paired with the Naisha Village Party Branch in Mula Town, Litang County, for mutual
construction. A normalised Party building guidance group was stationed in the village, supporting primary-level
Party building, reserve force cultivation, and capacity enhancement. Efforts were made to jointly build
organisational positions, share Party member education, coordinate activity organisation, jointly serve the people,
and operate an efficient mechanism for scientific development and mutual benefits. Secondly, the Company
strengthened position construction. The Company's resident work team coordinated special funds of over RMB0.3
million for assistance, upgrading the Hero Village Party building position, improving its functions, and striving to
build a county-level Party building work demonstration site. The assisting officials strictly implemented the
regulations of "Three Sessions and One Class", democratic life meetings, and heart-to-heart talks, helping to
cultivate active Party members in assisted villages, develop young Party members, and reserve backup cadres,
further addressing the aging issue among rural Party members, laying a solid foundation for the "two committees"
to play their role as strongholds.
(IV) Concentrated on education and training for strengthening intellectual support
Firstly, the Company supported educational assistance. The Company continued to organise the "Wuliangye
Education Fund" educational aid activity, allocating RMB2 million to reward and support students and educators
in Yibin City, contributing to the local education sector's development with practical actions. Special educational
aid funds were distributed to 41 disadvantaged college students in Qingping Yi Autonomous Township, Pingshan
County and 20 in Litang County, supporting them in pursuing their dreams. A donation of RMB60,000 was made
to provide nearly 300 students at Qingping Yi Ethnic Starbase Primary School with compassionate student
assistance packages. Extensive efforts were made to mobilise social forces, organising caring activities at Starbase
School in Pingshan County and donating over 2,500 sets (pieces) of study and living materials worth
approximately RMB250,000. Secondly, the Company implemented rural talent training. Normalised activities
such as farmer and herder night schools and technical training were conducted more than 20 times, covering over
500 participants, contributing to the cultivation of a group of "local experts" and "field talents".
(V) Improved public services and enhanced management efficiency
Firstly, the Company improved facility construction. With over RMB9 million in fiscal appropriations and
company donations, efforts were made to widen, upgrade, and harden two village roads, and maintain and manage
basic supporting facilities such as water, electricity, networks, and pipelines in assisted villages, addressing local
infrastructure shortcomings. Secondly, the Company provided assistance to the needy. Resident officials actively
coordinated assistance, arranging subsidies for over 30 migrant workers, securing industrial development funds
for 25 impoverished households to develop industries such as farming and animal husbandry. Comfort packages
and condolences worth over RMB100,000 were distributed to elderly, disabled, and left-behind children. Over 20
disputes and practical issues were resolved for the people. Thirdly, the Company enhanced emergency response
capabilities. By establishing fire emergency firefighting teams, flood control emergency groups, and earthquake
relief emergency rescue teams in assisted villages, corresponding emergency plans were formulated. Regular
disaster prevention and mitigation drills were organised for villagers, and various emergency equipment and
52
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
materials, totaling 342 sets (pieces), were donated by the Company's basic militia team, further enhancing the
emergency response capabilities of assisted villages.
(VI) Promoted civilised rural customs and continuous progress in spiritual civilisation
Firstly, the Company supported ethnic cultural project construction. In 2023, the Company donated RMB1
million to support the construction of the "Wuliangye Torch Square" in Qingping Yi Autonomous Township,
enriching the cultural life of the masses, fostering an atmosphere of diligence and enterprising spirit, and
prospering rural culture. This aimed to cultivate a civilised village atmosphere, good family ethics, and simple
folk customs, striving to build a benchmark for Yi culture revitalisation. Secondly, the Company carried out
civilised rural activities. In the assisted areas, extensive campaigns promoting civilised rural customs were carried
out, actively promoting the selection of good deeds and morality, clean family ethics, civilised families, and
exemplary individuals, inheriting and promoting excellent traditional customs, curbing negative practices, and
rectifying vices such as pornography, gambling, and drugs, guiding the masses to create a happy life through hard
work. Last but not least, the Company facilitated civilization with its corporate culture. It encouraged villagers
from the assisted villages to go to Wuliangye. Additionally, Wuliangye capitalized on the cultivation methods of
the corporate culture to help the assisted villages refine and develop values and cultures that have a rich rustic
flavour and will inspire people to work hard. Moreover, rustic culture publicity platforms were established to
guide the abolishment of outmoded conventions and customs through healthy corporate culture.

The Company’s management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all
of the information included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report other than the financial statements and our
auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
V Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for Financial Statements
The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a fair
view in accordance with CAS, and for designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control as the
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern (if applicable) and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
VI Auditor’s Responsibilities for Audit of Financial Statements
66
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with CAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with CAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
(1) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
(2) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances.
(3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by the management.
(4) Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required by CAS to draw users’ attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events
or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
(5) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
(6) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any noteworthy deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

6. Accounting methods for business combinations involving enterprises under and not under the common
control
(1) Business combination involving enterprises under the common control
The assets and liabilities acquired by the combining party through business combination involving
enterprises under the common control are measured at the share of owners' equity of the combined party in the
carrying value on consolidated financial statements of the final controlling party on the combination date. The
difference between the carrying value of the net assets obtained by the combining party and the carrying value of
consideration paid for the combination (or total par value of the shares issued) is adjusted against share premium
in the capital reserve; if the capital reserve is not sufficient for writing down, the retained earnings shall be
adjusted. All the direct costs incurred by the combining party for the business combination shall be included in
current profit/loss when incurred.
(2) Business combination involving enterprises not under the common control
In case of business combination involving enterprises not under the common control, the combination costs
shall be the fair values of the assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed and the equity securities issued on the
date of acquisition by the acquirer in exchange for control on the acquiree.
For a business combination involving enterprises not under the common control achieved through step-by-
step implementation of multiple transactions, related accounting treatment shall be carried out by distinguishing
individual financial statements from consolidated financial statements:
a) In the individual financial statements, the sum of carrying value of the equity investment held in the
acquiree prior to the date of acquisition and cost of the new investment on the date of acquisition shall be taken as
the initial cost of such investment; where the equity held in the acquiree prior to the date of acquisition involves
other comprehensive income, the other comprehensive income related to such investment shall be transferred to
current return on investment.
b) In the consolidated financial statements, the equity held in the acquiree prior to the date of acquisition
shall be re-measured at the fair value of such equity on the date of acquisition, and the difference between its fair
value and its carrying value shall be included in the current return on investment; where the equity held in the
acquiree prior to the date of acquisition involves other comprehensive income, the other comprehensive income
88
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
related to such investment shall be transferred to current return on investment on the date of acquisition.
The intermediary expenses such audit, legal service, evaluation and consultation and other administrative
expenses incurred by the acquirer for the business combination shall be included in current profit/loss; the
transaction expenses for issuing equity securities or debt securities by the acquirer as consideration of the
combination shall be included in the initial recognition amount of the equity securities or debt securities.
Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities obtained from the acquiree in the business
combination involving enterprises not under the common control shall be measured at the fair value on the date of
acquisition. Where the combination cost exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's net
identifiable assets obtained in the combination, the difference shall be recognized as goodwill. Where the
combination cost is less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's net identifiable assets
obtained in the combination, the acquirer shall first recheck the fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities obtained in the combination and the combination cost. Where the combination
cost is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's net identifiable assets obtained in the
combination, the difference shall be included in the current profit/loss.
7. Judgement criteria for control and methods for preparing consolidated financial statements
(1) Judgement criteria for control
Control means that an investor has the power over the invested company, gets variable return by
participating in related activities of the invested company and has the ability to influence the amount of the return

the investee based on its comprehensive consideration of relevant facts and circumstances. Should any changes in
such facts and circumstances alter the elements defining control, a reassessment is promptly conducted. Relevant
facts and circumstances mainly include: a) the purpose of the investee's establishment; b) the investee's activities
and how decisions regarding them are made; c) whether the rights held by the investor currently enable it to
dominate the investee's activities; d) whether the investor receives variable returns from participating in the

enterprises under the common control during the Reporting Period, the revenue, expenses, and profits of such
subsidiaries and businesses from the beginning to the end of the period of business combination shall be recorded
into the consolidated income statement. Cash flows of such subsidiaries and businesses from the beginning to the
end of the year of business combination shall be recorded into the consolidated cash flow statement, and relevant
items of the statements shall be adjusted through comparison of the statements, as if the reporting entity after the
combination had been existing from control of the final controlling party after the combination comes into effect.
For subsidiaries and businesses added by business combination involving enterprises not under the common
control or other means, the revenue, expenses, and profits of such subsidiaries and businesses from the date of
acquisition to the end of Reporting Period shall be recorded into the consolidated income statement. Cash flows of
such subsidiary from the date of acquisition to the end of the Reporting Period shall be recorded into the
consolidated cash flow statement.

revenue, expenses, and profits of such subsidiary and business from the beginning of the Reporting Period to the
date of disposal shall be recorded into the consolidated income statement; and the cash flow of such subsidiary
and business from the beginning of the Reporting Period to the date of disposal shall be recorded into the
consolidated cash flow statement.
In the consolidated financial statements, when the Company as the parent acquires the equity held by the
minority shareholders in the subsidiary, the difference between the long-term equity investment obtained by
acquiring non-controlling interests and the share of the net assets to be enjoyed and continuously calculated from
89
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
the date of acquisition or combination according to the new increase in shareholding proportion shall be adjusted
against the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is not sufficient for writing
down, the retained earnings shall be adjusted.

(2) Classification and measurement of financial assets
According to the business model of managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics
of financial assets, the Company classified financial assets into the following categories: Financial assets
measured at the amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and
financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period.
1) Initial measurement of financial assets
Financial liabilities, upon initial recognition, shall be measured at fair value. For financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss, relevant transaction expenses shall be directly included in current profit or loss; for other
categories of financial assets, relevant transaction expenses shall be included in the initial recognition amount. For
notes receivable and accounts receivable arising from sales of goods or provision of service which do not include
or consider the compositions of major assets, the Company shall take the consideration expected to be received as
the initial recognition amount.
2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets
a) Investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost
The business model of the Company for managing such financial assets aims at obtaining contractual cash
flow, and the characteristics of contractual cash flow of such financial assets are basically the same as basic
borrowing arrangement, namely the cash flow arising on a specific date, which are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company subsequently measures such financial assets at
amortized costs by effective interest method. The gain or loss from their amortization, impairment and
derecognition shall be included in current profit or loss.
b) Investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
The business model of the Company for managing such financial assets aims at receiving contractual cash
flow as well as selling, and the characteristics of contractual cash flow of such financial assets are basically the
same as basic borrowing arrangement. Such financial assets shall be measured at fair value, with the changes
included in other comprehensive income, but the impairment loss, exchange gain or loss and interest income
calculated by effective interest method shall be included in current profit or loss. The accumulative gains or losses
which are previously included in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out from other comprehensive
income and included in current profit or loss upon derecognition.
c) Investment in debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss
The Company classifies debt instruments held which are not classified as debt instruments measured at
amortized cost and debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss. For eliminating or significantly reducing accounting mismatch upon initial
recognition, financial assets may be designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such
financial assets shall be subsequently measured at fair value with all changes in fair value included in current
profit or loss. Only when the Company changes the business model of managing financial assets, shall relevant
financial assets being affected be reclassified.
d) Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
The Company designates some of the investments in non-trading equity instrument as financial assets at fair
value through other comprehensive income upon initial recognition. The Company includes relevant dividends
income in current profit or loss, with changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income. The
accumulative gains or losses which are previously included in other comprehensive income shall be transferred
from other comprehensive income to retained earnings instead of current profit or loss upon derecognition of such
financial assets.
(3) Recognition basis and measurement methods for transfer of financial assets
If the Company has transferred almost all risks and remuneration of the financial assets ownership to the
transferee, the financial assets shall be derecognized; if the Company retains almost all risks and remuneration of
the financial assets ownership, the financial assets shall not be derecognized.
The Company does neither transfer nor retain almost all risks and remuneration of the financial assets
ownership but gives up the control over the financial assets, such financial assets shall be derecognized and the
91
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
rights or obligations arising or retained during the transfer shall be separately recognized as assets or liabilities; if
control over the financial assets is retained, relevant financial assets shall be continuously recognized according to
the extent of involving in the financial assets transferred and relevant liabilities shall be recognized accordingly.
(4) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities shall be classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.
1) Initial measurement of financial liabilities
Any financial liability meeting any of the following conditions can be designated upon initial measurement
as the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: a) This designation can eliminate or significantly
reduce accounting mismatch; b) According to the risk management or investment strategy of the Company as
stated in formal written document, the portfolio of financial liabilities or the portfolio of financial assets and
financial liabilities is managed and evaluated on the basis of fair value, and reported to the key management on
the basis of this inside the Company; c) This financial liability contains embedded derivative to be separately split.
The Company shall determine classification of the financial liabilities upon initial recognition. For financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction expenses shall be directly included in current
profit or loss; relevant transaction expenses of financial liabilities measured at amortized cost shall be included in
the initial recognition amount.
2) Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
a) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost: The Company subsequently measures such financial
liabilities at amortized costs by effective interest method. The gain or loss from derecognition or amortization
shall be included in current profit/loss.
b) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: Including held-for-trading financial liabilities
(including derivative instruments belonging to financial liabilities) and the financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss upon initial recognition.
Held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivative instruments belonging to financial liabilities) shall
be subsequently measured at fair value (except for those concerning hedge accounting) with changes in fair value
included in current profit or loss.
For financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss, changes in fair value
arising from change of the credit risk of the Company shall be included in other comprehensive income;
accumulative gain or loss previously included in other comprehensive income shall be transferred from other
comprehensive income to retained earnings. Other changes in fair value shall be included in current profit or loss.
If previous accounting treatment may cause or expand the accounting mismatch in profit or loss, all gains or
losses of such financial liabilities (including the amount affected by change in credit risk of the Company) shall be
included in current profit or loss.
(5) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities
When the following conditions are met at the same time, the financial assets and financial liabilities shall be
presented as net amount after offset in the balance sheet: The Company has the legal right to offset the recognized
amount and may exercise such legal right currently; the Company plans to settle with net amount or realize the
financial asset and pay off the financial liability simultaneously.
(6) Fair value determination of financial instruments
For financial instruments with active market, the fair value shall be determined by the quotation in the active
market. For financial instruments without active market, the fair value shall be determined by valuation technique.
The Company shall adopt the valuation technique which is applicable in current situation and supported by
sufficient available data and other information for valuation. The Company shall choose inputs which are
consistent with the characteristics of assets or liabilities considered by the market participant in the transaction of
relevant assets and liabilities, and give priority to relevant observable inputs. If it is impossible or impractical to
obtain relevant observable inputs, the Company may use unobservable inputs.
(7) Impairment of financial instruments
The Company shall recognize provisions for loss of the financial assets measured at the amortized cost,
investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract asset, lease
receivables, loan commitment and financial guarantee contracts based on the expected credit loss.
The expected credit loss refers to the weighted average credit loss of financial instruments weighted by the
risk of default. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contract cash flows discounted by the Company at
the original effective interest rate and receivable according to the contract and all expected cash flows received,
namely the present value of all cash shortage. Among which, the financial assets purchased or originated that have
suffered from credit impairment shall be discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial assets after credit
adjustment.
92
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
Lifetime expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss possibly incurred during the expected lifetime
of financial instruments due to defaults.
12-month expected credit loss refers to expected credit loss possibly incurred within 12 months (if the
expected lifetime of the financial instrument is less than 12 months, the expected lifetime) after the balance sheet
date due to possible defaults of financial instruments and is an integral part of the lifetime expected credit loss.
On the balance sheet date, the Company measured the expected credit loss of financial instruments at
different stages, respectively. If the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly since the
initial recognition, the financial instrument is in Stage 1, and the Company measures the provisions for loss
according to the 12-month expected credit loss; if the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased
significantly but the credit impairment has not yet occurred since the initial recognition, the financial instrument is
in Stage 2, and the Company measures the provisions for loss according to the lifetime expected credit losses; if
the financial instrument has suffered credit impairment since the initial recognition, it is in Stage 3, and the
Company measures the provisions for loss according to the lifetime expected credit loss.
For a financial instrument with low credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company assumes that the
credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition, and the Company measures the provisions
for loss according to the 12-month expected credit loss.
For financial instruments with low credit risk in Stage 1 and Stage 2, the Company shall calculate the
interest income according to the carrying amount and effective interest rate before deducting the provisions for
impairment. For financial instruments in Stage 3, the Company shall calculate the interest income according to the
amortized cost and effective interest rate of the carrying amount after withdrawing the provisions for impairment.
For notes receivable and accounts receivable, regardless of whether there is major financing, the Company
shall always consider all reasonable and sound information, including prospective information, to estimate
expected credit loss of the above accounts receivable individually or in combination and adopt the simplified
model of expected credit loss. The Company shall always measure the provisions for loss according to the lifetime
expected credit loss.
1) Accounts receivable
a) At the end of the Reporting Period, if there is objective evidence indicating that impairment has occurred
in an account receivable, impairment test shall be carried out separately on it, such as accounts receivable in
dispute with counterparties or involved in litigation or arbitration; if there is obvious indication that the debtor is
likely to fail to comply with the repayment obligation, the impairment loss shall be recognized and the bad debt
provisions shall be made based on the balance between the present value of future cash flows and its carrying
value.
b) If there is no objective evidence indicating that impairment or the credit loss of a single financial asset
cannot be evaluated at reasonable cost, the accounts receivable shall be classified into several groups by
characteristics of credit risk. The expected credit loss shall be calculated based on the combinations. Basis for
determining the combinations is as below:
Item Determination Basis
Bank acceptance bill group Bank acceptance bills
Letter of credit group Letters of credit
Commercial acceptance bills group Commercial acceptance bills
Accounts receivable group Receivables from related parties
Accounts receivable group External customer
Other receivables group Receivables from and payables to related parties
Other receivables group Cash float, deposits and other receivables with low credit risk
Other receivables group Other amounts
For accounts receivable divided into risk groups, the Company, with reference to historical experience in
credit loss and based on current situation and forecast of future economic situation, shall prepare a comparison
table between the aging of accounts receivable and the lifetime expected credit loss rate to calculate the expected
credit losses. For other groups, the Company, with reference to historical experience in credit loss and based on
current situation and forecast of future economic situation, shall calculate the expected credit losses according to
the exposure at default and the 12-month or lifetime expected credit loss rate.
2) Debt investments and other debt investments
93
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
For debt investment and other debt investments, the Company shall calculate the expected credit loss
according to the nature of investment, types of counterparty and risk exposure, exposure at default and the 12-
month or lifetime expected credit loss rate.
The Company shall include the provision or reversal for loss made or included in current profit or loss. For
investment in debts instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Company shall adjust other
comprehensive income when the impairment loss or gain is included in current profit or loss; for financial assets
measured at amortized cost, the provision for loss shall offset the carrying value of such financial assets.
12. Contract assets and contract liabilities
Under the contract between the Company and the customer, the Company shall be entitled to receive the
contract price for the goods transferred to the customer and for the related services provided, while at the same
time assuming the performance obligation to transfer the goods or services to the customer. When the customer
has actually paid the contract consideration or the enterprise has transferred goods or services to the customer
before such consideration is due and payable, the right to receive the consideration for the transferred goods or
services should be presented as a contract asset and recognized as an accounts receivable when the unconditional
right to receive is obtained; conversely, the Company's obligation to transfer goods or services to the customer for
the consideration received or receivable from the customer should be presented as a contract liability. Any
contract liability shall be recognised as revenue when the Company fulfils its obligation to transfer goods or
provide services to the customer. The Company presents contract asset and contract liability under the same
contract on a net basis.
13. Inventory
(1) Classification of inventory
Inventories mainly include raw materials, packing materials, self-manufactured semi-finished products,
goods in process, inventory of goods, turnover materials, etc.
(2) Valuation method of inventory
Grains, raw coal and auxiliary materials for producing Baijiu are measured at actual cost and priced by
weighted average method when sent out; paper, printing ink, and auxiliary materials for producing printed matters
are measured at planned cost when purchased and sent out, with the difference between actual cost and planned
cost included in “materials cost difference”. The difference to be amortized by the materials sent out shall be
calculated by materials cost difference by category at the end of the month, so as to adjust cost of the materials
sent out into actual cost; goods in process, self-manufactured semi-finished products, and finished products are
measured at actual cost and priced by weighted average method when sent out.
(3) Determination basis of net realizable value of inventory and methods for provision of inventory falling
price reserves
On the balance sheet date, the inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If
cost of the inventories is higher than the net realizable value, a provision for inventory falling price reserves shall
be made and included in current profit or loss.
Net realizable value refers to the amount after deducting the cost estimated until completion, estimated
selling expenses, and relevant taxes from the estimated selling price of the inventory.
The Company shall determine the net realizable value of inventories based on solid evidence obtained and
after taking into consideration the purpose for which the inventory is held, and the impact of post-balance sheet
events. Materials held for use in the production of inventories are measured at cost if the net realizable value of
the finished products in which they will be incorporated is higher than their cost; decline in the price of materials
indicates that the cost of the finished products exceeds their net realizable value, the materials are measured at net
realizable value. The net realizable value of inventory held to satisfy sales or service contracts is based on the
contract price. If the quantities held by the Company is higher than the quantities of inventories specified in sales
contracts, the net realizable value of the excess portion of inventories shall be based on general selling price.
Any of the following circumstances usually indicates that net realizable value of an inventory is lower than
the cost.
1) Market price of the inventory declines continuously and there is no hope of rising in the foreseeable
future.
2) The cost of products produced by the Company with such raw materials is higher than the selling price of
the product.
3) The raw material inventory no longer satisfies the needs of new products due to upgrade of products, and
the market price of the raw material is lower than the book cost.
4) The market price declines gradually due to obsolete goods or service provided by the Company, or
change of market demands due to change of consumer preference.
94
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
5) Other circumstances which are sufficient to prove substantial impairment of the inventory.
The Company shall usually determine the falling price reserves of inventories on an item-by-item basis. For
inventories in large amount and low unit price, provision for inventory falling price reserves may be made by
category of the inventories. For item of inventories relating to a product line that is produced and marketed in the
same geographical area, have the same or similar end uses or purposes, and cannot be practically measured
separately from other items, provision for inventory falling price reserves may be made on an aggregate basis.
The Company shall determine the net realizable value of inventories on the balance sheet date. When factors
causing written-down of the inventory value disappear, the amount written down shall be recovered and will be
reversed from the provided inventory falling price reserves. The amount reversed will be included in current profit
or loss.
(4) Inventory system of inventories
The perpetual inventory system is adopted.
(5) Amortization method for low-value consumables
Low-value consumables shall be amortized according to one-off amortization method.
14. Assets held for sale
(1) Classification of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale
The Company classifies non-current assets or disposal groups that meet both of the following conditions as
assets held for sale: 1) Assets or disposal groups can be sold immediately under current conditions based on the
practice of selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions; 2) sales are highly likely to occur, that is,
the Company has already made a resolution on a sale plan and obtained a certain purchase commitment, and the
sale is expected to be completed within one year.
Non-current assets or disposal groups specifically obtained by the Company for resale shall be classified by
the Company as held-for-sale on the acquisition date when they meet the stipulated conditions of “expected to be
sold within one year” on the acquisition date, and may well satisfy the category of held-for-sale within a short
time (which is usually three months).
If the transaction between non-related parties fails to be completed within one year due to one of the
following circumstances which is over the control of the Company, and the Company still promises to sell the
non-current assets or disposal groups, the Company should continue to classify the non-current assets or disposal
groups as held-for-sale: 1) The purchaser or other party unexpectedly sets conditions that lead to extension of the
sale. The Company has already acted on these conditions in a timely manner and it is expected to be able to
successfully deal with the conditions that led to the extension of the sale within one year after the conditions were
set; 2) due to unusual circumstances, the non-current assets or disposal groups held-for-sale failed to be sold
within one year. In the first year, the Company has taken necessary measures for these new conditions and the
assets or disposal groups meet the conditions of held-for-sale again.
(2) Measurement of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale
1) Initial measurement and subsequent measurement
When the Company initially measures or remeasures non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale on
the balance sheet date, if the carrying value is higher than the fair value minus the net amount of the sale costs, the
carrying value will be written down to the net amount of fair value minus the sale costs. The amount written down
will be recognized as asset impairment loss and included in current profit and loss, and provision for impairment
of assets held for sale will be made.
Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held-for-sale on the date of acquisition shall be measured
at the lower of net amount of initial measurement amount minus sales cost and that of fair value minus selling
expenses, assuming they were not classified as held-for-sale during initial measurement. Except for non-current
assets or disposal groups acquired from business combination, the difference arising from taking the net amount
of fair value minus sales cost as initial measurement amount of the non-current assets or disposal groups shall be
included in current profit or loss.
For the recognized amount of asset impairment loss of the disposal groups held for sale, the carrying value
of goodwill of the disposal groups shall be offset first, and then the carrying value of various non-current assets in
the disposal groups shall be offset by proportions.
Non-current assets held for sale or non-current assets in the disposal group are not subject to depreciation or
amortization. Interest and other expenses of liabilities in the disposal group held for sale shall still be recognized.
2) Accounting treatment for reversal of asset impairment loss
If the net amount that the fair value of the non-current assets held for sale on the follow-up balance sheet
date minus the sale costs increases, the previous written-down amount will be restored and reversed from the asset
impairment loss recognized after the assets are classified as held-for-sale. The reversed amount shall be included
95
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
in the current profit or loss. The asset impairment loss recognized before being classified as held-for-sale shall not
be reversed.
If the net amount that the fair value of the disposal groups held for sale on the follow-up balance sheet date
minus the sale costs increases, the previous written-down amount will be restored and reversed from the asset
impairment loss recognized for non-current assets after the assets are classified as held-for-sale. The reversed
amount shall be included in the current profit or loss. The carrying value of goodwill which had been written
down and the asset impairment loss recognized before non-current assets being classified as held-for-sale shall not
be reversed.
For the recognized amount of asset impairment loss of the disposal groups held for sale which is reserved
subsequently, the carrying value shall be increased according to the proportion of carrying value of various non-
current assets (except for goodwill) in the disposal groups.
3) Accounting treatment for assets no longer classified as held-for-sale and derecognition
When a non-current assets or disposal group ceases to be classified as held-for-sale or a non-current asset is
removed from the disposal group held for sale due to failure in meeting the classification conditions for the
category of held-for-sale, it will be measured by one of the followings, whichever is lower: a) Amount after
adjusting the carrying value before being classified as held for sale according to the depreciation, amortization or
impairment that would have been recognized under the assumption that it was not classified as held for sale; b) the
recoverable amount.
The gain or loss not yet recognized shall be included in current profit or loss when recognizing the non-
current assets or disposal groups held for sale.
15. Long-term equity investments
(1) Determination of initial investment cost
a) Long-term equity investment from business combination
1) For the long-term equity investment in subsidiaries acquired through business combination involving
enterprises under the common control, the share of the carrying value of the owners' equity of the combined party
in the ultimate controller's consolidated financial statements on the date of combination shall be taken as the initial
investment cost of the long-term equity investment. The share premium of the capital reserve shall be adjusted
with the difference between the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment and the carrying value
of the consideration paid. If the share premium of the capital reserve is insufficient for writing down, the retained
earnings shall be adjusted.
2) For long-term equity investments in subsidiaries acquired through business combinations involving
enterprises not under the common control, initial investment cost of the investment shall be the fair value of the
assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity securities issued by the Company in exchange for control
over the acquiree on the date of acquisition. For long-term equity investment in subsidiaries acquired through
business combination involving enterprises not under the common control implemented by multiple transactions,
the initial investment cost shall be the sum of the carrying value of equity investment held by the Company in the
acquiree before the date of acquisition and the cost of new investment on the date of acquisition.
b) For long-term equity investment acquired by cash payment, the initial investment cost shall be the
purchase price actually paid. The initial investment cost includes fees, taxes and other necessary expenses directly
related to acquire the long-term equity investment.
c) For long-term equity investment acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost of long-
term equity investment obtained by issuing of equity securities shall be the fair value of issuing the equity
securities.
d) The initial investment cost of long-term equity investment obtained by the exchange of non-monetary
assets shall be the fair value of the assets surrendered and relevant taxes payable if the exchange of non-monetary
assets has commercial nature and the fair value of the assets received or surrendered may be reliably measured,
unless there is conclusive evidence providing that fair value of the assets received is more reliable. For exchange
of non-monetary assets not meeting the above conditions, the initial investment cost shall be the carrying value of
the assets surrendered and relevant taxes payable.
e) The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by debt restructuring shall be
recognized at the fair value.
(2) Subsequent measurement and profit & loss recognition methods
The long-term equity investment in subsidiaries is measured by the cost method. Long-term equity
investment calculated by cost method shall be priced at the initial investment cost. The cost of long-term equity
investment shall be adjusted when the investment is added or recovered. The cash dividends or profits declared to
be distributed by the invested company should be recognized as current return on investment.
96
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
The long-term equity investment in associates and joint ventures is accounted by the equity method.
If the initial cost of long-term equity investment is greater than the fair value of identifiable net assets of the
invested company gained from the investment, the initial cost of long-term equity investment shall not be adjusted.
If the initial investment cost is smaller than the fair value of identifiable net assets of the invested company gained
from the investment, the difference shall be included in current profit or loss, and the cost of long-term equity
investments shall be adjusted.
After the Company obtains a long-term equity investment, it shall, in accordance with the share of the net
profits and other comprehensive income of the invested company to be enjoyed or shared, recognize the return on
investment and other comprehensive income respectively, and adjust the carrying value of the long-term equity
investment. The Company shall, in accordance with the share in the profits or cash dividends declared and
distributed by the invested company, decrease the carrying value of the long-term equity investment accordingly.
As for other changes in owners' equity except for the net profit and loss, other comprehensive income and
profit distribution of the invested company, the Company shall adjust the carrying value of the long-term equity
investment and include it into the owners' equity. When the share of the net profit or loss of the invested company
is recognized, the net profit of the invested company shall be adjusted and recognized according to the fair value
of the net identifiable assets of the invested company when the investment is made.
For the transactions between the Company and associates and joint ventures, the unrealized gains and losses
of the internal transactions shall be offset by the proportion attributable to the Company, and the return on
investment is recognized accordingly. Unrecorded internal transaction losses incurred between the Company and
the invested company shall be recognized in full if they fell under asset impairment loss.
The Company shall recognize the net losses of the invested company until the carrying value of the long-
term equity investment and other long-term rights and interests which substantially form the net investment made
to the invested company are reduced to zero, unless the Company has the obligation to undertake extra losses. If
the invested company realizes a net profit in the subsequent period, the Company shall restore the recognition of
its share in profits after its share in profits offsets the share in unrecognized losses.
If the accounting policy and accounting period adopted by the invested company are inconsistent with those
adopted by the Company, financial statements of the invested company shall be adjusted and return on investment
and other comprehensive income shall be recognized according to the accounting policy and accounting period of
the Company.
(3) Disposal of long-term equity investments
In disposal of the long-term equity investment, the balance between the carrying value and the actual price at
which the investment is obtained shall be included in current profit or loss.
For long-term equity investment accounted by the equity method, the part of the investment originally
included in other comprehensive income shall be accounted for on the same basis as the invested company's direct
disposal of the relevant assets or liabilities when disposed. The owners' equity recognized as a result of changes in
other owners' equity other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and profit distribution of the
invested company is carried forward proportionally into current profit or loss, except for other comprehensive
income arising from changes due to remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan.
In case of loss of common control or significant influence on the invested company due to disposal of part of
the equity investments, residual equity will be accounted by the recognition and measurement criterion for
financial instruments. The difference between the fair value on the date of losing common control or significant
influence and the carrying value shall be included in current profit or loss. Other comprehensive income
recognized due to accounting of the original equity investment by equity method shall be accounted for on the
same basis as the invested company’s direct disposal of the relevant assets or liabilities when stopping using
equity method. Owner’s equity recognized due to other changes in other owners’ equity other than the net profit
or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the invested company will all be carried forward
into current profit or loss when stop using equity method.
If the Company disposes of part of the equity investment and loses control over the invested company, and if
the remaining equity after disposal can implement joint control or exert significant influence on the invested
company, it shall be accounted for using the equity method when the individual financial statements are prepared,
and the equity shall be adjusted as if the remaining equity had been accounted for using the equity method since
acquired; if the remaining equity after disposal cannot implement joint control or exert significant influence on the
invested company, it shall be subject to accounting treatment in accordance with the relevant provisions of the
criteria for recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The difference between the fair value and the
carrying value on the date of losing control shall be included in the current profit or loss.
If the disposed equities are acquired by the business combination due to the reasons such as additional
investment, the remaining equities after the disposal shall be calculated based on the cost method or equity
97
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
method in preparing the individual financial statements, and other comprehensive income and other owners'
equity recognized because of the equity method adopted for the calculation of the equity investment held prior to
the date of acquisition are carried forward in proportion; if the remaining equities after the disposal shall be
changed to be accounted in accordance with the recognition and measurement criterion for financial instruments,
other comprehensive income and other owners' equity shall be carried forward in full.
(4) Determination basis of common control and significant influence on the invested company
Common control means common control over an arrangement according to relevant provisions, and the
decision-making for relevant activities of such arrangement needs unanimous agreement of all participants sharing
the control.
Significant influence means having the power to participate in decision-making of the financial and
operating policies of the invested company, but not the power to control or jointly control the formulation of these
policies together with other parties.

method (the straight-line depreciation) from the second month after they reach their intended serviceable
condition.
17. Construction in progress
(1) For construction in progress, book value of the fixed assets shall be the necessary expenditures incurred
before the assets reach its intended condition for use.
(2) Standard and timing for transferring construction in progress to fixed assets
From the date when the construction in progress reaches the predetermined usable state, based on factors
such as the project budget, cost, or actual cost, it is transferred to fixed assets based on the estimated value and
depreciated according to the Company's fixed asset depreciation policy. Adjustment shall be made to the
originally and provisionally estimated value based on the actual cost after the completion settlement is handled,
but depreciation already provided shall not be adjusted.
18. Borrowing costs
(1) Recognition principles of borrowing costs:
Interest of borrowings, and amortization of discount or premium attributable to the acquisition and
construction or production of fixed assets, investment properties and inventories meeting the conditions of
capitalization period and capitalization amount should be capitalized and included in the cost of such assets; other
interest of borrowings, and amortization of discounts or premiums shall be included in expenses in current period.
The exchange differences incurred from special foreign currency borrowings for acquisition and construction or
98
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
production of fixed assets and investment properties shall be capitalized and included in the cost of such assets if
it is within the capitalization period. Auxiliary expenses for special borrowings, if incurred before the fixed assets
acquired or constructed reach the intended condition for use, shall be capitalized at the time of occurrence; other
auxiliary expenses shall be recognized as expenses in current period and included in current profit or loss.
(2) Capitalization period of borrowing costs:
a) Commencement of capitalization: Capitalization of borrowing interest, amortization of discount or
premium, and exchange differences shall be commenced when all the following conditions are met.
1) Asset expenditure has already occurred.
2) Borrowing costs have already occurred.
3) Acquisition and construction activities necessary to bring the assets to the intended condition for use have
already begun.
b) Suspension of capitalisation: Where the acquisition and construction of a fixed asset is interrupted
abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall
be suspended and the borrowing costs shall be recognized as current expenses until recommencement of the
acquisition and construction of the asset.
c) Termination of capitalization: When the fixed assets acquired and constructed reach the intended
condition for use, capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be terminated.
(3) Capitalized amount of borrowing costs:
Capitalized amount of interest of special borrowings during each accounting period shall be the amount of
interest expenses actually incurred in the current period less the interest income of the borrowings unused and
deposited in bank or the amount of return on investment from temporary investment. Interest of general
borrowings to be capitalized should be calculated by multiplying the weighted average of asset disbursements of
the excess of accumulated asset disbursements over the special borrowings by the capitalization rate of used
general borrowings.
(4) Determination principles of capitalization rate:
The capitalization rate is calculated by weighted average interest rate of general borrowings.
19. Intangible assets
(1) Service life and the basis for its determination, estimation, amortisation methods or review procedures
Externally acquired intangible assets shall be measured at the actual cost when acquired and averagely
amortized during the expected service life since the month when the intangible assets is acquired; book value of
the self-developed intangible assets shall be the sum of the expenditures during the research and development
stage of internal research and development projects of the Company which are eligible for capitalization and the
expenditures incurred before reaching the intended condition for use, and be averagely amortized over the
expected service life since the month in which the intangible asset is ready for use.
Service life of intangible assets shall be analyzed and determined when acquired. Intangible assets with
limited service life shall be amortized over period during which they may bring economic interests; if the period
during which the intangible assets may bring economic benefit to the enterprise is unforeseeable, such intangible
assets shall be considered as intangible assets with uncertain service life and shall not be amortized.
Impairment test: At the end of each year, the Company shall recheck the service life and amortization
method of the intangible assets. Intangible assets with uncertain service life shall be subject to impairment test
every year whether there is any indication of impairment.
(2) Scope of R&D expenditures and related accounting treatment
The scope of R&D expenditures includes staff salaries for R&D personnel, direct input costs, depreciation
and amortisation expenses, and other expenses.
The expenditures of the Company’s internal research and development projects are divided into research
phase expenditures and development phase expenditures.
Research phase expenditures shall be included in current profit or loss when incurred.

sell the intangible asset; the expenditure attributable to the development phase of the intangible asset can be
99
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
reliably measured.
20. Long-term asset impairment
For the long-term equity investments, investment properties, fixed assets, construction in progress,
intangible assets, and other long-term assets measured at cost model, if there are signs of impairment, an
impairment test shall be conducted on the balance sheet date. If the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its
carrying value according to the test, provision for impairment will be made at the difference and included in
impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the higher of the net amount of fair value of an asset deducting the
disposal expenses and the present value of estimated future cash flow of the asset. The provision for impairment
of assets is calculated and made on an individual basis. If it is difficult for the Company to estimate the
recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of an asset group, to which the said asset
belongs, shall be determined. Asset group is the smallest asset group that can independently generate cash inflows.
For goodwill, impairment test shall be conducted at least at the end of each year. Impairment test shall be
carried out in combination with the relevant asset group or combination of asset group.
The carrying value of goodwill caused by business combination is amortized to relevant asset groups with a
reasonable method from the date of acquisition when the Company carries out impairment test on goodwill; or
amortized to relevant combination of asset groups if it is difficult to be amortized to relevant asset groups. When
the carrying value of goodwill is amortized to the relevant assets group or combination of assets groups, it shall be
evenly amortized according to the proportion of the fair value of each assets group or combination of assets
groups in the total fair value of the relevant assets groups or combinations of assets groups. Where the fair value
cannot be reliably measured, it should be amortized according to the proportion of the carrying value of each asset
group or combination of assets groups in the total carrying value of assets groups or combinations of assets groups.
When making an impairment test on the relevant assets groups or combination of assets groups containing
goodwill, if any indication shows that the assets groups or combinations of assets groups may be impaired, the
Company shall first conduct an impairment test on the assets groups or combinations of assets groups not
containing goodwill, calculate the recoverable amount and compare it with relevant carrying value to recognize
the corresponding impairment loss. Then the Company shall conduct an impairment test on the assets groups or
combinations of assets groups containing goodwill, and compare the carrying value of these assets groups or
combinations of assets groups (including the carrying value of the goodwill apportioned thereto) with the
recoverable amount. Where the recoverable amount of the relevant assets groups or combinations of assets groups
is lower than the carrying value thereof, the Company shall recognize the impairment loss of goodwill.
The above asset impairment losses shall not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods once recognized.
21. Long-term prepaid expense
Long-term prepaid expense is recorded according to the actual amount incurred and amortized over the
benefit period or the stipulated amortization period by the straight-line method. If a long-term deferred expense
item cannot benefit a later accounting period, the amortized value of the item that has not been amortized shall be
transferred to the current profit or loss; long-term prepaid expense such as expenditure for improvement of fixed
assets under operating lease shall be amortized averagely within the benefit period.
22. Employee benefits
(1) Accounting treatment of short-term remuneration
Short-term remuneration refers to the payroll which is expected to be paid in full by the enterprise within 12
months after the end of the year in which the employee provided relevant services.
During the accounting period when employees serve the Company, the actual short-term remuneration is
recognized as liabilities and included in current profit or loss or costs of relevant assets.
(2) Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits refer to various compensations and benefits to be provided by the enterprise after
retirement from or termination of the labor relation with the enterprise in exchange for the service provided by the
employee. Post-employment benefits are divided into two types: Defined contribution plans and defined benefit
plans.
a) Defined contribution plan: Contribution which shall be made by the Company separately on the balance
sheet date in exchange for the service provided by the employee during the accounting period shall be recognized
as payroll liabilities and included in current profit or loss or relevant asset cost.
b) Defined benefit plan: Based on the formula determined by expected cumulative welfare unit method, the
benefit obligations arising from the defined benefit plan shall be attributable to the period in which the employee
provides service and included in current profit or loss or cost of relevant asset; changes due to remeasurement of
100
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan shall be included in other comprehensive income and
shall not be reversed to profit or loss in subsequent accounting periods.
(3) Accounting treatment of dismissal benefits
Dismissal benefits refer to the compensation paid to the employee by the enterprise for termination of the
labor contract with the employee prior to expiration, or encouraging the employee to accept downsizing
voluntarily.
If the enterprise provides dismissal benefits, payroll liabilities arising from dismissal benefits shall be
recognized and included in current profit or loss on the earlier date of:
a) The date when the enterprise could not unilaterally withdraw the dismissal benefits which offered by the
plan or layoff proposal due to termination of the labor relation.
b) The date when the enterprise recognizes the cost or expense related to the reorganization related to
payment of the dismissal benefits.
(4) Accounting treatment of the other long-term employee welfare
Other long-term employee benefits refer to all payrolls except for short-term remuneration, post-
employment benefits, and dismissal benefits, including long-term paid absences, long-term disability benefits,
long-term profit sharing plan, etc.
The other long-term employee benefits provided by the enterprise shall be recognized and measured as net
liability or net asset of other long-term employee benefits according to relevant provisions of the defined benefit
plan, except for those meetings the conditions of defined contribution plan.
23. Provisions
(1) Recognition criteria for provisions
When obligations related to contingencies meet the following conditions, the Company shall recognize them
as provisions:
a) The obligation is the current obligation assumed by the Company.
b) The performance of this obligation may result in the outflow of economic benefits.
c) The amount of this obligation can be reliably measured.
(2) Measurement method of provisions
Considering the risks, uncertainties, and time value of money related to contingencies, the provisions shall
be initially measured at the best estimate of the required expenditure for the performance of current obligation. If
the time value of money is significant, the best estimate shall be determined after discounting relevant future cash
outflow. The Company shall check the carrying value of the provisions on the balance sheet date, and adjust the
carrying value to reflect current best estimate.
24. Revenue
(1) Recognition principles of revenues
Revenue is the total inflow of economic benefits arising from the Company's ordinary activities that would
result in an increase in shareholders' equity and are unrelated to capital contributions by shareholders.
The Company recognizes revenue when it has fulfilled its performance obligations under the contract, that is,
when the customer obtains control of the relevant goods. Obtaining control over related goods means being able to
dominate the use of the goods and obtain almost all economic benefits from them.
If the contract contains two or more performance obligations, the Company will allocate the transaction
price to each individual performance obligation according to the relative proportion of the individual selling price
of the goods or services promised under each individual performance obligation on the contract commencement
date, and measure the revenue according to the transaction price allocated to each individual performance
obligation.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company is expected to be received due to the
transfer of goods or services to customers, excluding the amount collected on behalf of third parties. In
determining the transaction price of a contract, if variable consideration exists, the Company will determine the
best estimate of the variable consideration based on the expected or most likely amount and include in the
transaction price in an amount not exceeding the amount that the accumulated recognized revenue will most likely
not be significantly reversed when the relevant uncertainty is eliminated. If there is a significant financing
component in the contract, the Company will determine the transaction price according to the amount payable by
the customer in cash when obtaining the control right of the goods. The difference between the transaction price
and the contract consideration will be amortized by the effective interest rate method during the contract period. If
the interval between the transfer of control right and the payment price by the customer does not exceed one year,
101
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
the Company will not consider the financing component.
Performance obligations are fulfilled within a certain period if any of the following conditions is met;
otherwise, performance obligations are fulfilled at a certain point in time:
a) The customer acquires and consumes the economic benefits of the Company's performance at the same
time as the Company's performance;
b) The customer controls the goods under construction during the performance of the Company;
c) The goods produced by the Company during the performance of the contract have irreplaceable uses, and
the Company has the right to collect money for the accumulated performance that has been completed so far
during the whole contract period.
For performance obligations performed within a certain period, the Company recognizes revenue according
to the performance progress within that period, except that the performance progress cannot be reasonably
determined. The Company determines the performance progress of the services provided according to the input
method (or output method). When the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs
incurred by the Company are expected to be compensated, the revenue shall be recognized according to the
amount of costs incurred until the performance progress can be reasonably determined.
For performance obligations performed at a certain point in time, the Company recognizes revenue at the
point when the customer obtains control of the relevant goods. When judging whether the customer has acquired
control of goods or services, the Company will consider the following indications:
a) The Company has a present right to receive payment for the goods or services, i.e. the customer has a
present obligation to pay for the goods;
b) The Company has transferred legal ownership of the goods to the customer, i.e. the customer has legal
ownership of the goods;
c) The Company has physically transferred the goods to the customer, i.e. the customer has taken physical
possession of the goods;
d) The Company has transferred to the customer the principal risks and rewards of ownership of the goods,
i.e., the customer has acquired the principal risks and rewards of ownership of the good;
e) The customer has accepted the goods.
(2) Recognition methods of revenues
a) Recognition methods of revenues for distribution model
The Company arranges logistics delivery to the customer's designated location, delivers the goods to the
buyer according to the contract, and recognizes revenue after the buyer signs for it;
b) Recognition methods of revenues for direct sales model
Group purchase sales: Revenue is recognized when the Company delivers the goods to the buyer and
receives payment or acquires the right to receive payment;
On-line sales; Revenue is recognized when the Company receives the payment transferred from the e-
commerce platform from the consumer.
25. Government subsidy
(1) Judgment basis and accounting treatment of asset-related government subsidies
The asset-related government subsidies refer to the government subsidies obtained by the Company and
used for acquisition or construction or for formation of long-term assets in other ways, including the financial
allocation for purchasing fixed assets or intangible assets, the financial discount for special loan of fixed assets
and others.
The specific standard of the Company for classifying the government subsidies as asset-related subsidies:
government subsidies obtained by the Company and used for acquisition or construction or for formation of long-
term assets in other ways.
If the government documents do not specify the target of the subsidies, the basis that the Company classifies
the government subsidies as asset-related subsidies or income-related subsidies were as follows: Whether the
subsidies are used for acquisition or construction or for formation of long-term assets in other ways.
Timing of recognition of asset-related government subsidies of the Company: Government subsidies, when
actually received, shall be recognized as deferred income and transferred equally to current profit or loss based on
the expected service life of the long-term assets when the long-term assets are available for use.
The asset-related government subsidies are recognized as deferred income, and included in current profit or
loss by stages based on the service life of the assets acquired and constructed. If the related asset is sold,
transferred, scrapped or damaged before the end of the service life, the deferred income balance not yet distributed
shall be transferred to the profits and losses of the period in which the assets are disposed.
(2) Judgment basis and accounting treatment of income-related government subsidies
102
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
Income-related government subsidies refer to all the government subsidies other than asset-related
government subsidies.
The specific standard of the Company for classifying the government subsidies as income-related subsidies:
All the government subsidies other than asset-related government subsidies.
Timing of recognition of income-related government subsidies of the Company: Government subsidies,
when actually received, shall be included in current profit or loss if used to compensate the relevant expenses or
losses of the Company in the subsequent period; included in current profit or loss directly when acquired if used
to compensate relevant expenses or losses incurred by the Company.
Income-related government subsidies used to compensate the relevant expenses or losses of the Company in
the subsequent period shall be recognized as deferred income when acquired; included in current profit or loss in
the period in which relevant expenses are recognized; those used to compensate relevant expenses or losses
incurred by the Company, shall be directly included in profit or loss directly when they are received.
(3) The government subsidies related to daily activities of the Company shall be included in other incomes
or used to offset relevant costs and expenses according to the substance of the economic business. The
government subsidies irrelevant to the daily activities of the Company shall be included in non-operating revenue.
26. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities
The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are calculated and recognized according
to the difference (temporary difference) between the tax base and carrying value of the assets and liabilities.
Deductible losses that can be carried forward to the subsequent year to offset taxable income according to the tax
law shall be considered as temporary difference, and corresponding deferred income tax assets shall be recognized.
For temporary differences related to the initial recognition of goodwill, corresponding deferred income tax
liabilities shall not be recognized. For the temporary differences related to the initial recognition of the assets or
liabilities incurred in the transaction not for business combination that will not affect the accounting profits and
taxable income (or deductible losses), corresponding deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities
shall not be recognized. The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured on the
balance sheet date according to the applicable tax rate in the period of expected recovery of relevant assets or
liquidation of relevant liabilities.
Deferred income tax assets shall be recognized within the limit of taxable income which the Company may
obtain for deducting deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax deduction. Deferred income tax
assets and deferred income tax liabilities arising from temporary differences related to the investment in
subsidiaries and associates shall be recognized. If the time of reversal of temporary differences can be controlled
by the Company and the temporary differences are likely to not be reversed in the foreseeable future, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities shall not be recognized.
27. Leases
From the effectiveness date of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is a lease or includes
any lease. If a party to the contract transfers the right allowing the control over the use of one or more assets that
have been identified within a certain period, in exchange for a consideration, such contract is a lease or includes a
lease.
(1) Accounting treatment of the Company as the lessee
On the commencement date of the lease term, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
being adopted simplified treatment, the Company recognises right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for the lease.
Right-of-use assets shall be initially measured at costs, including: a) The initial measurement amount of the
lease liabilities; b) the lease payment paid on or before the commencement date of the lease term. If there is a
lease incentive, the amount related to the lease incentive taken should be deducted; c) the initial direct cost
incurred by the lessee; d) the estimated cost that the Company will use to pull down and remove the leasehold
property, and restore the site of the leasehold property or restore the leasehold property to the state agreed in the
lease clauses (excluding the costs incurred by inventories for production).
The lease liabilities shall be initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payment from the
commencement date of the lease term. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses
the interest rate implicit in lease as the rate of discount. If the interest rate implicit in lease cannot be determined,
the Company’s incremental lending rate is used as the rate of discount.
After the commencement date of the lease term, the Company subsequently measures the right-of-use assets
at cost model, and the right-of-use assets are subject to depreciation by using the straight-line method. Meanwhile,
the interest expenses of the lease liabilities in each period of the lease term are calculated, and shall be included in
the profit or loss for the current period, unless otherwise stipulated to be included in underlying asset costs.
Variable lease payments that are not covered in the measurement of the lease liabilities are included in current
103
Annual Report 2023 of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd.
profit or loss when actually incurred, unless otherwise stipulated to be included in underlying asset costs.
For short-term leases within 12 months and leases of low-value assets, the Company chooses not to
recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The relevant lease expenditures are included in relevant asset
cost or the profit or loss for the current period in the straight-line method in each period of the lease term.
(2) Accounting treatment of the Company as the lessor
a) Classification of lease
The Company classifies leases into finance leases and operating leases at the inception of leases. A finance
lease refers to a lease where almost all the risks and rewards, related to the ownership of the leased asset, are
substantially transferred, regardless of whether the ownership is eventually transferred or not. An operating lease
refers to all leases other than finance leases.
b) Accounting treatment of financial lease
On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognises the finance lease receivables for the
finance lease and derecognises the leased asset of the finance lease. In the initial measurement of finance lease
receivables, the sum of the unsecured residual value and the present value of the lease payments receivable not yet
received on the commencement date of the lease term discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease is the book
value of the finance lease receivables. The Company calculates and recognises the interest income in each period
within the lease term at a fixed interest rate implicit in the lease. The received variable lease payments that are not
included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are included in profit or loss for the current period
when they are actually incurred.
c) Accounting treatment of operating lease
The Company recognises the lease payments receivable of the operating lease as rental earning in each
period within the lease term on a straight-line basis or according to other systematic and reasonable methods. The
initial direct costs related to the operating lease are capitalised, amortised within the lease term on the same basis
as the recognition of rental earning, and included in profit or loss for the current period. The received variable
lease payments related to the operating lease that are not included in the lease payments receivable are included in
profit or loss for the current period when they are actually incurred.

Receivables financing: Due to the short term of notes receivable held by the Company, and the selling time,
selling price and selling proportion cannot be estimated reliably, the Company measures the notes receivable
according to the par value as a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Other non-current financial assets: Since the Company holds other non-current financial assets that are not
traded in an active market, and its equity interest in the invested company is low and has no significant influence,
it is not realistic and feasible to value the equity in the invested company using the income approach or market
approach, and there is no recent introduction of external investors to the invested company or transfer of equity
among shareholders that can be used as a reference basis for determining fair value. In addition, the Company has
not found any significant changes in the internal and external environment of the invested company since the
beginning of the year from the analysis of the relevant information available, therefore, it is a "limited
circumstances" in which the carrying cost can be used as the best estimate of the fair value, and therefore the fair
value is based on the cost at the end of the year.
